Morninggate - Daily Mail: Amanda Holden pokes fun at Holly Willoughby's comeback statement

Story from Daily Mail:

It's no secret that Amanda Holden is not a fan of This Morning's Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.

And on Tuesday morning, the Heart FM presenter, 52, poked fun at Holly's comeback speech - mimicking her address to This Morning viewers in a video on social media.

Returning to the show for the first time since Schofield's sacking following his affair with a younger male colleague, Holly, 42, asked viewers: 'Right, deep breath. Firstly, are you OK? I hope so.'

Amanda posted a video on Instagram wearing an angelic white ensemble from Me + Em which was similar to the Reiss one worn by Holly, saying: 'Hello, it is Tuesday. Are you OK?'

And, just in case anyone missed the point, she had another pop at Holly on the radio.

When talking about doing the show hungover, the day before, co-host Jamie Theakston, 52, asked her how she was feeling.

She said: 'I got home, got straight into bed with my dog and cat. I got up, cooked the tea and went back to bed again at 8.

'I did that thing where you wake up at 2 and you have to talk yourself back into going to sleep.'

Jamie interjected: 'We're worried about your well-being,' while talking to another guest.

Amanda replied: 'I'm OK people, are you OK?' before cackling loudly.

A spokesperson for Amanda told MailOnline: 'Amanda has always made it clear in the past she has no issues with Holly. Today’s video has been taken out of context.'

And Amanda wasn't the only person sticking the boot in to Holly.
